The light out in the LA area is so much nicer than Ontario. The smog actually softens the light and makes it even better. We stuck around the Santa Monica Pier (Pacific Park!) and then headed up North to Malibu.

Here are a few of the photos!

Hey all! I totally haven’t forgotten about the blog. I promise. It’s just been quite the summer. Between weddings, travel, and corporate shoots, I haven’t had much free time to blog. I know this should not be an excuse – but it’s what I’m sticking to this time.

It’s been an amazing year, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Since so much Las Vegas travel has appeared this year, I put my random LV guide up over at my other blog: http://www.taylorjacksonblog.com/travel/how-to-go-to-las-vegas-for-cheap/

Met up with Mandippal for a few promos.

And watched Jez do some fancy biking by the tower bridge.

New updates to start happening again soon! I have about 10 amazing weddings I’m excited to post! As well as some great engagement sessions from LA, Santa Monica, Napa Valley, and San Francisco!

Anyways, they’re fun and cute, and here are a few photos from their engagement session:

Here’s a few photos from the day:

Happy to say that UW leaves their lecture halls open all the time. So we took advantage.

Alright. So on Monday I’m off to Las Vegas, for a few photos at Showest (cinema industry tradeshow), and a drive from Vegas, to L.A. to Malibu and back. I should bring back lots of photos. Looks like next Sunday, I’ll also be heading to New York City to photograph Grand Central Stations BMW exhibit. And April 21st, it’s back to Vegas for NAB (Broadcasting, media, entertainment and communications tradeshow) Should be a fun month.

*Alright, so we had scoped out a beautiful red swing that Marilyn was going to sit on, and Dan would push her. As we neared the red swing, and little kid comes flying over and jumps on the swing. He proceeds to stare at us as if we’re supposed to push him. Dan did for a short time. End of story.

It was pretty cold out, so we started at Starbucks with some grande tea’s.

From there, we headed over towards Seagram Lofts, because I’ve always loved the shutter pattern on the front of the buildings. From there, they hit the dressing room, and got ready.
Lint rolling a la Justin, and last minute lip treatment

Hair and makeup (alright, so there wasn’t any makeup)

and they’re ready.

One more from Seagram

From there we took part in a Rude Native patio invasion (Alright, it was so cold their patio was closed, and it looked neat)

We had to nail at least one shot for Vogue. So we used the brick wall just outside of the Shops at Waterloo Town Square.

From there, the poking began.

That’s all for today. Thumbs up!

I’m at a Kitchener wedding today. We’re doing photos at Doon Heritage Crossroads – I’m pretty excited.

Tonight I’m also officially starting doing slideshows at the Reception – I pick about 50 of my favorite images from the day, and put a slideshow together while you at your delicious dinner. For now I’m just running it off of my laptop, but there may be a projector in the future.

Check back soon.

She had her eyes on me pretty much the entire time. If only all kids were as easy to work with

We wandered around Rockway Gardens in Kitchener (They’re from Hamilton – thanks so much for driving down!) for about an hour, and took over 200 photos.

I’ll send you the link as soon as I have the rest ready!

I have a ton of photo sessions between now and Monday, so forgive me if my turn around times are not the usual two or three days. I’m working hard, I promise!
